Oklahoma City has ruled out Williams due to a right hamstring strain that has sidelined him since February 12 and there is still no timetable for his return.
With Williams still sidelined, Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace will both likely continue to have increased roles until the star forward is cleared to return.
The Thunder have also ruled out Branden Carlson as he continues to recover from a back strain while Thomas Sorber is out for the remainder of the season with a torn ACL.
